Dominatrix acquitted in bondage death

In one of the odder stories of the day, as reported in USA Today...

"A dominatrix was acquitted of manslaughter Monday in the death of a man who prosecutors say suffered a heart attack while strapped to a replica of a medieval rack."

Oh but why stop there...

"Prosecutors said that 53-year-old Michael Lord suffered a heart attack in 2000 during a bondage session in a "dungeon" in Asher's condominium and that Asher did nothing to help him for five minutes for fear authorities would find out about her business. Asher had her boyfriend chop up the body of the 275-pound retired telephone company worker, and they dumped it behind a restaurant in Maine, prosecutors said. His remains have never been found.

Prosecutors said Asher confessed to police, but the alleged confession was not taped, and investigators testified they did not save their notes. Asher's lawyer, Stephanie Page, said there was nothing to prove Lord was even dead..."

I did not make this part up, I promise!

"During his closing argument to the jury, prosecutor Robert Nelson put on a black leather mask with a zippered mouth opening and re-enacted the bondage session. With both hands, he reached back and clutched the top of a blackboard as if strapped to the rack. Then he hung his head as if dead."

So really what else do I need to say? Because from all my experiences in these type of cases, this all seems very normal. The only thing I wonder is if when Mr. Nelson put on the mask, did he at all think that maybe his closing arguments weren't going quite as planned? Also is it inappropriate to mention how difficult it is to chop up anybody over 200 lbs. without the proper tools, or that I bet they were using one of those cheap knock off replica medieval racks?

We Love the Razzies

Ahhhh another awards season is upon us. The season where we can honor those individuals who made us laugh, cry and even realize what really happens out on the range. But before the beloved Oscars, we have the one of my personal favorites, “The Razzie Awards” A celebration of the worst Hollywood has to offer for 2005.
I can’t honest say I have not subjected myself to the pain of watching all the nominated movies, however, I did see the first 15 minutes of most of them and I can definitively say that, “The Son of the Mask” should clean house, but by no means is it even in the same class as some of our favorites; Goodburger, From Justin to Kelly or even Teen Wolf Too.
